    Certificate Programs in Complimentary Medicine

    Certification programs typically teach a specialized skill set. Universities offer certificates in a wide variety of disciplines. They are awarded to individuals who meet certain requirements set out by the school or professional organization.

    What is a certificate in complimentary medicine? Generally, at the core of complimentary medicine is the philosophy of treating the whole person as opposed to a person’s symptoms. Students may be introduced to several techniques and methods related to complimentary medicine such as massage, nutrition and meditation. Courses that make up a program may include wellness counseling, foundation for promoting healthy lifestyles, body-based methods and techniques, and herbal and homeopathic medicines.

    Completing a certificate of this nature often puts skills in the healing hands of students. These skills may include communication, interpersonal and leadership, which, when combined, can create a job candidate who may negotiate better working conditions and higher pay.

    Certificate programs often take anywhere from one to two years to complete and are usually offered at natural colleges as well as some traditional universities. Different formats and schools may charge varying rates and fees. Contact schools directly for more pricing information.

    Many individuals pursuing a certificate in complimentary medicine are already working in the health or human services profession and are interested in expanding their knowledge base. These individuals may already be employed as nurses, physicians or psychologists. Those who do not already work in the industry may be able to pursue a career as a natural healer, dietician, holistic therapist, masseuse, nutritionist or yoga teacher.

    Some complimentary medicine courses may be available in an online format. Other courses may require onsite training. Students may have the opportunity to earn their certificate by taking a blend of traditional and distance-learning classes.
